Will Ferrell Confirms Hair Loss Surgery

The Graham Norton Show on BBC1 is rapidly establishing itself as the place to announce details of cosmetic hair loss surgery. Following on from Robbie William’s confession earlier last year, this time it was the turn of Will Ferrell.

Appearing on Graham Norton’s New Year’s Eve show, Ferrell and the rest of the Anchorman 2 cast were in town to promote said movie. Commenting on the unique appearance of his character Ron Burgundy, Ferrell claimed that although the moustache looks “fake”, it is in fact completely real. Will went on to claim that he wears a wig when playing Ron Burgundy.

Ron Burgundy’s “big” hair has already featured on The Belgravia Centre hair loss blog when we speculated that Ferrell’s own hair had been curled to create a genuine 70s look. Ferrell’s comments prove that there was no cause for concern regarding the use of chemical or heated curlers on his own hair however.

Ferrell then went on to tell Graham Norton that he was very proud of his own hair, having just spent $40,000 on hairline restoration surgery. “It was an early Christmas present to myself,” he joked.

Hair loss surgery increases in popularity

Ferrell is the latest in a long line of celebrities to have undergone surgery to reverse hair loss, at considerable cost. Wayne Rooney has had admitted to two operations to combat male pattern baldness at a cost of £30,000 each and Robbie Williams claims to have had one done because he “was bored”.

The cost of such procedures is obviously out of reach of many men and women similarly affected by pattern baldness. There are however several cost-effective hair loss treatments available that have similar success rates, opening hairloss reversal to everyone.

As for Ferrell, we hope he enjoys his Christmas present to himself and treats his new hairline well. We also urge caution when wearing wigs and hairpieces in future to avoid another hair loss condition known as Traction Alopecia.
